I think one point that needs more investigation, would be the rear stripes and that the car was possibly hit from behind and had a slight repaint in the rear. have you looked under the car and close up inside the trunk?

Yes definitely an older accident but no extensive damage. The hood is definitely a replacement from the 70's.

For investment purposes, the 1968 Z28 is one of the hardest vehicles to validate.  You must have good verifiable documents in order to sell the vehicle when you get ready to cash in on your investment.  So please, right now before you invest, take the facts you have discovered about this car and hire you a reputable, independent, first generation Camaro appraiser.  Or at least talk to Jerry MacNeish at:

I also think what Jerry is suggesting would be a good idea in this case...

69 Corvette, '60 Corvette, '72 Corvette
90 ZR1 red/red #246, 90 ZR1 white/gray #2466

The car is certified by Jerry, he has a document signed, but based on the limited option list for this Vehicle and the odd color combination,no gauge package ,I do think the high thirty's maybe forty would be a more reasonable price.

Toad...call Jerry and ask him what was right and what was wrong about the car.  When Jerry appraises a car he does a very detailed assessment that is usually several pages long.  Most people will not show you the details of the appraisal because they don't want to show you what he found wrong with the car....they just show you the signed document that he states the car is a Z28.  He may relate additional facts about the car than has been discussed previously.  The more you can find out about this car the better off you will be later.  Call Jerry M. to get the facts.

Good advice Gerry, I have decided to back out of the deal not because I don't think the car is a well documented true 68' Z, but due to it's limited option list and color combination makes it, a 35 to 38 K vehicle a based on all of the input so far. I think at 45K a un restored true survivor in this condition, would have to be something with a few more options. What do you think?

I would say there is not that many unrestored cars out there. first gen z/28 cars got used and abused by most, and finding a true matching numbers car is a find these days. You can put the sale on hold while you look at other cars, as long as you won't regret it if it sells to someone else. When i bought my car I wasn't going after a car with all the options. I wanted a unrestored Garnet Red (no vinyl top) Z/28. My car is late build (08C) car so it does have a tach, and the D80 spoiler package as dictated as standard equipment at that time of the year when it was sold. The owner did order it with a cowl hood, but other than tinted glass and a AM radio, it doesn't have many other options to speak of. No console, RS package, power steering, or X33. Which is fine with me, because it reminds me more of a strip special car, just the basics. So buy the car you want would be my advice, not the one you think others will want in the future.

Thanks well I left the ball in his court by staying at $42,000, not likely will he go for this. He knows what it's worth. I may have regretted already backing out of this deal but if it was meant to be......

I think having Jerry look at it or another Camaro expert would insure you are getting the real deal, a couple thousand is small potatoes compared to buying a fake Z, then your talking more like a 30 k swing

Car was hit in the 1/4 in 70.

Options don't mean a lot when it comes to originality, IMO.
